“In postulating that it was too late to undertake a cinematic adaptation of Society of the Spectacle six years after the appearances of this book, he neglects first of all the fact that there have doubtless not been three books of social critique of such importance published in the last hundred years. He forgets besides that I had myself written the book. All terms of comparison are lacking to evaluate whether I was slow or fast, since it is patently obvious that the best of my detractors do not make use of the cinema. So, I must admit, I found it quite good to be the first to realise this sort of exploit.”
GUY DEBORD, Refutation of all judgements, whether for or against,
which have been brought to date on the film “Society of the Spectacle”.
